Notes & Combos

This is the most fun I've had playing DM since forever. It was suprisingly a fairly easy climb once I found the variation I liked. I went on a 16 or 17 game win streak with this variant. No hand traps needed just pure DM with some staples. I will be honest, I barely used my links. The fusion variant is strong enough on its own.

Believe it or not the star of the show is not Dragoon but Dark Paladin. Dragoon makes turn 2 easier but not by that much. What is really the gamechanger for turn 2 is Droplet. Imo droplet makes this deck's turn 2 WAY more viable than without it.

The skill is alot better than people in the community give it credit for. We just needed to play around and find the right balance for everything! Overall this skill is way more fun than the other one and the grind was fairly easy. This deck is easily tier 2 if you understand it well enough.

I will show some turn 2 duels so you can see how viable this skill actually is.

Good luck on the grind, fellow DM enthusiasts!
